Team,

  For those of you that attended SAP 4 Utilities last month, we hope you made lots of great connections and learned more about your SAP journey from the community.   I know I saw lots of great presentation, reconnected with many friends and brought back lots of ideas for what is next.   Just a quick note about other opportunities for the rest of the year.  We are working to continue our S/4 Utility Community presentations in December, but have not confirmed the dates of our planned speaker, so stay tuned for that invite in 4th Qtr.   Lots of other 4th Qtr presentations are planned and we will be sure to get out invites ASAP.  Please register for the SAP Utilities Vision and Strategy as well as the ASUG Think Tank presentation now, listen to the Podcast, and invites will be out soon for everything else.
